"The joy is in the climb itself." Thank you for sharing, Miku.

Thank you for posting this. It's Christmas morning and the first time I'm alone on this morning (usually I'm with my family) so I've been reflecting a bit too much on some of my misery. But your video really helps me see that I need to focus on what's in front of me, not on what I've lost or what I've desired and have not achieved. SO thank you for lifting my spirits on this Christmas! Also weirdly we have the same snowman bench here, all the way across the world. Had no idea they would be found in Japan too!

[@mikurealjapanese]

Awwww you just made my day too ❤❤❤ It was worth working on this video just because of your kindest comme t !! Thank you so much ❤ I totally understand you, I used to do the same and i still do sometimes, we all do, but we should also celebrate little wins we have every day. Even a tiny little thing :) There are seasons in life too, so you don't have to rush too :) Thank you for watching my video on Christmas 🎄 ❤ I wish you the best of luck in 2025❤ Let's focus on what's in front of us together and keep going on our own pace!!!

Hi Miku, I just want to thank you for sharing your stories and your gift of teaching with everyone :) I first found your channel around five years ago, when I was still in high school. I've been self-studying Japanese on and off, mostly 'off' in the last couple of years with a big revival this year. But coming back to watch your videos again today, I was surprised that I'm actually understanding a lot more than I anticipated. I didn't follow a syllabus but just like you said in this video, would learn in the way which makes me tick and really enjoyed it. This video has been a huge motivation for me to keep at it. I also feel that your channel and your sharing has also really grown over the years - but it still always feels so safe listening to you talk. Wishing you a joyful, restful new year! ^^

[@mikurealjapanese]

You're so sweet. I'm so grateful for your kind words❤ It really made my firtst morning in 2025 ❤ I hope to serve you more and more in the future !!! 😊

Just last night my wife and I were sitting in the same picnic table area where you filmed this, looking at the Christmas lights. The ACROS building was lit up, the big pink heart was on, and all of the food stalls were open. We decided to sit down and take everything in even though it was raining. What a great coincidence!

[@mikurealjapanese]

Really???? 😂❤ That's funny !! Haha We might meet somewhere one day haha 😂

Im glad the nihongo subtitle is not overlapped by the english one anymore. I appreciate it a lot. Thank you so much miku sensei

[@XxD4RK3NERGYxX]

Music has a way of bringing that energy out in people, at least it does for me. Will be in Fukuoka in a couple of weeks, cant wait!

[@jessicaarttans4415]

I really enjoy watching "Japanese Listening About LIFE" since the content is useful and the Japanese level suits me :) I am actually still not fully recovering from burn out, so currently I am trying to do what I like without forcing myself too much when learning Japanese (I don't enjoy studying from textbook. I love watching videos and listening J-music). I will take things slowly to make sure I don't get burn out again and I can enjoy learning Japanese in long terms. Thank you and I am looking forward to upcoming videos. Merry X'mas! :)

[@pablocampos6467]

Merry Christmas Miku! Thank you again to your courage to share another interesting video 😊

[@elenaekanathapetrova2282]

this video I really enjoyed to watch not because it's helps me to learn language but because I resonate with your message I think it's compelling input for me. I completely forgot about I listened in a foreign language I just absorb the message and it can easily rich to my subconscious and i'll acquire language this way I think it is one of the best type of leatning video when one can completely forget you learned a forgen language.

[@mikurealjapanese]

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s so nice to hear that the video resonated with you on a deeper level. 🙏❤

[@sreenathsubramaniam4848]

Thank you very much Miku sensei, for the very beautiful message.

[@didierlafond3365]

Dear Miku! Thank you so much for your videos about life (and for the other too). I am a great fan of your channel! I have been learning japanse for 3 years now - and every day I watch a video from you, again and again. You are so inspiring!!! I learn a lot about the japanese language and culture through your videos. I am from Canada, from Montreal in Quebec and french is my mother tongue. If you want to come to Montreal, let me know!!! Originally, I am a french citizen from France, but I have been living for years in Germany, where I met japanese student as I was at the university; they are still my friends and one of them is my witness of marriage. I have been living close to the japanese culture for decades. Then I migrated from Germany to Canada (where my wife is from). I have never been in Japan; hope to go there next year (Tokyo and Sapporo). I love the japanese litterature and movies, and first of all, the musicality of the japanese language. Keep on going, with Yuske sans, too!!! You are - both - ma favourite sensei on the japanese Net. By the way, I have been listening so much times your videao about IKIGAI with Yuske san that I know it by heart!!! Greetings from Canada Didier

[@mikurealjapanese]

@didierlafond3365 Thank you for such a kind comment !!! I hope you vist my country one day ❤️❤️ And yes! I will keep on going with Yusuke san !!! Hehe Thank you for sending your heartwarming message 💓 I received it and now my heart is so warm 🥰☕️💗

[@aiko_japanese]

役に立つアドバイスでした。クリスマスのプレゼントだと思います。今みく先生の話を聞きながら自分のことを反省しました。目の前にはあることを楽しむことが本当に大事ですよね。大事だと言っても忘れがちです。でも２０２５年から結果ばかり気にして心配したり落ち込んでたりしないで今を生きて楽しめます。ありがとうございました。

[@sammanning1017]

You're absolutely right. I've always known how to make things fun, work too. At 54 years old, I don't feel that I've worked a day in my life! Been living and working in Japan (Chiba) for 28 years ;)

Arigatou for your videos. i almost stopped learning japanese this year and wasn't sure when i ll get to travel to see ur country and then i saw both ur videos and could connect so much to it. i felt everything u said. thank u Miku San for keeping us inspired and wish you a very happy 2025. Bless you.

[@mikurealjapanese]

I'm soooo happy to read this. You have no idea. 😢❤ I wish you the best of luck ❤ in 2025 and may your dream to come to Japan come true!!!!

[@donjulioPJ]

Thank you for posting this Miku Sensei. 本当に本当に. Recently I’ve been experiencing burnout from KZbin and after reflecting on this year, I realized that I spent the majority of my days working on videos and not really living. Almost to a point where I feel kind of sad. Whether I made the right choices or not, I don’t know but like you said life also has its’ seasons so maybe this was just a season. During this break I gave myself, I’ve slowly started to come to terms with enjoying the process and after hearing you mention it today as well, I think I’m headed in the right direction. おおきに❤

[@mikurealjapanese]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I'm so happy to hear that you're giving yourself time to recover and have fun 🙏💕

[@elenaekanathapetrova2282]

I really like Ado-san her example (her hard work as utaite her personality) and her voice are my source of inspiration for learning Japanese. when I listen to her when I communicate with her fan's it's helps me keep going Ado's songs help me remove some negative energy and gives me a lot of positive I think I can say this way

Fukuoka is relatively near the islands where Christianity is somewhat prevalent in Japan, so I wonder if that’s one of the reasons why there are plenty of Christmas markets in Fukuoka

[@AyakoSapphirePhoenix]

i think i heard that we had 8 or 9 christmas markets this year 0.0 thank you for the video

There us an interesting book about what you were talking about at the beginning, called 'Mindset' writtern by Carol Dweck, explaining the differences in approaches to life of people with fixed mindsets versus growth mindsets, main diffeeence is people with growth mindsets are actually sel-ENCOURAGED ti try harder when they fail.

A bird pooping on you is supposed to be good luck .. go figure 😂 Study is only fun if you have friends to study with/ from , besides natural Japanese isn't the same as textbook Japanese.
